Where to next?

I think many have noticed how the tone of Russian speaking heads has changed, from propagandists to political experts. Things are not going well, we have to think about options for events. Predictions began to include possible defeat in the war with Ukraine. This is considered a last resort, along with the Apocalypse. Like a frivolous and unlikely phenomenon.

What good is the fall of the nation’s prison?

What good is the fall of the nation’s prison?

Is it worth striving for the collapse of Russia? What happens next? What if again, instead of Estonia’s journey with Lithuania, we follow the route of Russia’s rampant rampage? Will the ‘cursed 90s’ be repeated, when power quickly merged with crime, officials and security forces began to build their own small empires “quickly”, the economy coughed and sneezed, and its treatment led to the emergence of oligarchy and social deprivation. And all democracy, exotic to Russians, has turned into a hideous bloody nightmare. The drowning of Russian society with fear and confusion began to pass only with the appearance of signs of a return to the usual way of life: at last the Master came and began to impose order: to urinate in the toilet, to point out enemies, to appoint “true patriots”, to divide the profits more evenly, and to see that the herd was full of feeders.

What language should evil speak?

What language should evil speak?

In Zelenogorsk kindergarten, one of the mothers caused a scandal because of the presence of British symbols in the room.

Mari tragedy against the background of Krut

Mari tragedy against the background of Krut

On January 29, 1918, the Battle of Kruty took place, during which several hundred Ukrainian volunteer students managed to delay the offensive of 3,000 Russian troops on Kiev for 4 days.

The delay gave time for the signing of the “Brest Peace”, through which

The Ukrainian People’s Republic was recognized as an independent state, with which even the Muscovites agreed (both on the white side and on the red side).

The Russian troops were commanded in this battle by a certain Mikhail Muravyev, who served only a year and a half for the murder of a comrade in army service. Just as it is now, the Kremlin was in dire need of recruiting a variety of convicts.
